2017 Ivanov Snow Parlor, Flamed Maple/Italian Spruce
Dontcho Ivanov does Flamed Maple right! This 2017 Snow Parlor combines a sleek, striking visual aesthetic with an expressive blend of warm bass notes and voluptuous trebles; not to mention Dontcho’s icy smooth setup and spacious 1 13/16″ nut for a play feel that’s easy on the hands.
The Italian Spruce top colors the entire voice with a creamy layer of delicious overtones which fill out the Snow Parlor’s tone–perfect for when you want that enveloping, lush sound. Open tunings are orchestral with this guitar (playing in Open D is really, well, open!). Dontcho’s craftsmanship is incredible with each joint seemingly seamless and an overall snowflake weight to match its name. Sustain and a small-bodied guitar don’t always go hand in hand, but with this 2017 Snow Parlor the notes hang for long seconds in the air.Additional Demo: https://youtu.be/GHWgPF2N858

2003 Claxton EM-C, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Our latest Claxton comes in a sharp-dressed suit with a voice to match. This 2003 EM-C is decked out with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce on top, and a slick rosette of geometric patterns for a feather in its cap. Lightweight and agile, this Claxton has a bell-like quality to the trebles that helps cut right through the mix, and we found the bass and lower mids paired will to flesh out the voice. The setup is glass-smooth and a breeze on the hands; drinks up both flatpicks and fingertips like water on a hot day.
It doesn’t take much to get the Red Spruce top singing, and that’s regardless of if your in standard tuning or more adventurous territory. We get a special feeling when we come across an exceptional set of Brazilian Rosewood, and that’s exactly how we felt when we pulled the one out of the case. It’s got lovely curving grain patterns with black ink lines, but is not so dramatically figured that we’d worry about the wood holding up to the vagaries of time humidity. The neck carve is a touch on the slim side of life to help facilitate that aforementioned glassy playability, and there’s a standard 25.4” scale, 1.75” nut, and 2.25” saddle spacing that’ll feel familiar at first strum.
Does this 2003 Claxton EM-C have any drawbacks? Maybe, but for the life of us we can’t find one.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, handbuilt, brazilain, emc, em c, cutaway, calton case, flight case

2015 Petros Grand Concert, Ceylon Satinwood/Alaskan Yellow Cedar
Here’s a Petros that’s at home in just about every setting. The voice is characterized by evenness and clarity, with great balance across the strings for both fingerstyle and flatpicking play, while the Grand Concert body size is big enough for power and projection, but still perfectly sized for comfort. Back and sides are a light colored set of Ceylon Satinwood, of which we’ve only seen a handful of guitars, and Petros paired that with an Alaskan Yellow Cedar top, plus Tasmanian Blackwood bindings, additional Abalone trim and appointments, and a venetian style cutaway. EVO frets are still going strong since 2015, and let’s be honest they’re going to continue to hold up great for years to come. A slender 1 11/16″ nut makes for quick lefthand work, paired with a slick setup for easy peasy playability, and a Fishman Ellipse pickup carries you right onto stage. Comes wrapped up in a custom Karura flight case!

2021 Buscarino Rhapsody, Mahogany/Sitka Spruce
According to the dictionary, the word ‘rhapsody’ means: ‘an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling.’ This is an appropriate name for this 2021 16″ Archtop from John Buscarino. It features 100-year-old aged and seasoned Sitka spruce on top, with lightly figured and flamed mahogany for the back and sides. The guitar includes Buscarino’s signature leaf soundport, EVO frets, a Buscarino humbucker paired with a James May Ultratonic pickup system that can be blended via controls on the floating pickguard, which is made of Malaysian Blackwood. Nearly every other appointment on this guitar — including the fingerboard, adjustable bridge, tailpiece, and headplate — is also crafted from Malaysian Blackwood.
